Light whimpering awakened Xander. He looked over at his bed partner and saw that he was thrashing around. He reached over and put a hand on Spike’s chest. “Spike?” He shook him a little. “Spike wake up. Its okay.” He shook him a little more not wanting to hurt him as Spike’s body was still fragile. “Spike please wake up.”
Spike felt someone shaking him and he heard a soothing voice through his nightmare. He tried to follow the voice but the nightmare was just too strong. He kept dreaming about the burning that he felt when he had stopped the opening of the Hellmouth. He thrashed around trying to get away from the burning.
Xander shook Spike again. “Spike, baby, wake up.” He smiled in relief when he saw those beautiful baby blues open up and look at him. “Are you okay Spike?” He watched Spike blink the last of the sleep from his eyes.
Spike nodded, “Yeah, I’m okay. Hungry though.” He went to sit up but fell back down and groaned. “I guess I’m still a little weak. Pet, do you think that you could get me some blood?” He cringed inwardly. He hated asking for anything from anyone. He was the big bad, damn it.
Xander smiled, “Sure. Just one mug or do you want two?” He shouldn’t have asked he should have just brought in two. Spike needed all the blood he could get in him, but he waited for Spike to make up his mind.
Spike thought he was pretty hungry. “Two. I’m hungry,” he said as he watched Xander nod and smile brightly. He lay in the soft bed thinking about everything. Why Buffy turned on him he had no idea. He had assumed all of the Scoobies were involved. It had hurt him when he found out that Buffy had turned her back on him but it had hurt a lot worse when he thought Xander had too. He wouldn’t admit it out loud, but he considered Xander one of his friends, and he even had feelings for Xander. When Anya had left Spike thought he had a chance with Xander. He smiled to himself. ‘Maybe I still have a chance.’
After Spike had decided that he wanted two mugs of blood Xander walked out of his bedroom. He thought about everything that he had discovered in the last nine hours. Buffy was pissed off about something and was being a total bitch. She had a lot of explaining to do when they confronted her. The biggest twist was that Angel was sending money for Spike! Where it going? He sighed and went into the kitchen. Pulling out two bags of blood Xander reached for the mugs from the previous night. Two of them hadn’t gotten cleaned. The congealed blood normally would have pissed him off but now it just reminded him what a bad way Spike had been in. He filled three mugs knowing Angel need to eat as well.
Putting the mugs full of blood in the microwave Xander noticed the time. “SHIT!” He cussed loudly. It was 3:30 pm. He had slept through a whole day of work, and this was the second time in the last week that he missed work. He sighed; he had really liked this job. Starting the microwave he leaned against the counter only to jump 6 feet in the air when someone touched his shoulder. He spun around and collided with Angel. “You scared me to death, Angel,” he gasped.
Angel smiled, “Nah, I can still hear your heart beating.” He turned serious. “How is Spike this morning?” He hadn’t slept well even with Lorne humming to him. Usually that worked like a charm, but he had been too worried about his childe. He had gotten up and gone to Xander’s room where the sight almost made him cry. Xander had been curled around Spike’s body in the most protective way. He had left the room quietly and went back to bed.
Xander sighed, “Well I guess he is doing okay. He was having a nightmare. It took a few minutes but I finally got him awake. He said he was hungry, but, when he tried to get up, he fell right back down. He’s still weak. I’m making him some blood right now.” Xander rubbed his face tiredly, “I’m going to get fired from work. This is the second time I have missed work without calling in. This time it was important but the last time it wasn’t really. Buffy didn’t want to patrol so she whined till Wills and I told her we’d patrol.”
Angel shook his head. He wondered what had happened to the Buffy he had fallen in love with all those years ago. The Buffy that was doing all of these things definitely wasn’t the same girl. “Why don’t you get something to eat yourself and I’ll feed Spike. He may need more Sire’s blood.”
Xander nodded, “Okay but I’m still going back in to tell Spike that I’m still here. I … I just want to make sure he knows I’m still here.” He turned around when the microwave beeped. “I made you some blood too. I thought maybe you were hungry but if you don’t want it we’ll just feed it to Spike too I mean I know he needs it, right.” He knew he was babbling but sometimes it just couldn’t be helped.
Angel put a hand on Xander’s shoulder and turned him around. “Xander its okay. I know you like him and I think that you would perfect for him. After everything thing that has happened, I think he needs someone who cares about him a lot.” Letting Angelus come out a little bit, he asked, “You aren’t going to hurt him are you? You have yet to see what happens when someone crosses me and hurts my childer.”
Xander gulped and shook his head, “I wouldn’t hurt him. He's my friend, and he's important to me. When Anya left me, he was such a big help I wanted him to move in with me, but he wouldn’t. He wanted to stay at Buffy’s to help with the potentials. You don't know how it hurt when I saw them together, but he loved her. I thought she loved him too, and I just wanted what I thought was best for him.”
Angel nodded. “Well he’s here now and he is going to need all the love and support he can get.” He smiled inside when Xander stood up straight. ‘Xander and Spike who would have thought.’
Xander looked Angel in the eyes, “I’m going to support him and I’m going to give him all the love that he needs. If he doesn’t have the same feelings for me I’ll still give him love and support. I told you he is my friend.” He picked up two of the mugs. “I’m going to feed him now.”
Angel picked up the other mug of blood. It had been awhile since he'd had human blood. He drained the mug quickly and went in the direction of Xander’s bedroom. When he looked in the door, he saw Xander gently rubbing the side of Spike’s face until he opened his eyes. He smiled and left. Spike could get a little sire’s blood later.
Xander turned around and noticed Angel was gone. He shrugged. ‘Guess I’m going to feed him. All the better for me.’ He smiled and turned back to Spike, “I have your blood. Angel was going to feed you and give you more sire’s blood but I guess he wanted to go see Lorne.” Xander snickered. “Did you know Angel had a boyfriend?”
Spike’s eyes widened. “Bloody Hell!” He couldn’t believe it. Angel had been lusting after Slutty when he had last seen him. “What does he look like?” He raised an eyebrow at him.
Xander snickered again, “Well he’s about 6 feall all and green with horns. He wears silk.” He laughed when Spike’s eyes got wider. When Spike asked if he was joking he s his his head. “Nope.”
Spike shook his head, “Well it’s a step up from Slutty.” He looked up at Xander. He was ready for the yelling to start and the lecture on not calling her that.
Xander stared into Spike’s eyes. He usually gave Spike a lecture about not calling Buffy names, but, after everything that she had done, he didn’t feel like defending her anymore. Instead he said, “You’re right. It is a big step up. Now drink your blood.”
Spike smiled, “Okay but can I sit up? I’m tired of laying, luv.” He looked pleadingly at Xander.
Xander smiled. There was no way he could say no to that face. “Sure, if you think you can.” He watched Spike struggle to sit up then stood and helped him. He placed his hands under Spike's arms and slowly pulled him into a sitting position. “There.” He picked up a mug and put it to Spike’s lips. “Open up.”
Spike gulped down the full mug. “Thank you for helping me. I thought everyone hated me.” He drank down the second mug. “That really hit the spot.” He smiled at Xander. “So since I been a good boy and ate all my dinner can I get a treat?”
Xander smirked, “I guess so, what do you want?” He leaned in when Spike crooked his finger. He wasn’t ready for Spike to lean up a little, with a lot of effort, and place a kiss on his lips.
Spike whispered against Xander’s lips, “I mean it Xander thank you for everything.” He couldn’t hold himself up anymore and flopped backwards on to the pillows. He sighed and waited for the backlash.
Xander swallowed thickly. He left his eyes closed as he savored the moment. When he opened his eyes and saw Spike worrying his bottom lip, he smiled softly as he leaned down and said, “Its my job now to bite that lower lip.” He kissed Spike again, taking the lower lip between his teeth and biting down softly. He smiled when Spike whimpered then pulled back. “You’re not well enough to be fooling around too much.” He leered at Spike, “That’ll have to wait till later.”
It was Spike’s turn to swallow thickly. ‘Now there’s something to look forward too.’ “So can I get out of this bleeding yet yet?” His bum was hurting from sitting in the bed and he was bored. “Not that I don’t like your company Xan-pet but I’m bored. Can’t we go to the living room? Maybe watch the telly?”
Xander frowned, “Spike you can’t even feed yourself yet. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you too…” He trailed off as Spike began to pout. He sighed, “Alright but if you get the least bit tired I mean even if your hand falls asleep you’re coming right back in here and sleeping.”
Spike snickered and nodded, “Okay.” He threw back the blankets and lifted his arms like a child. “Xan-pet carry me.”
Xander laughed loud. “I don’t know. Maybe.” He sighed like it was a chore and leaned over to pick Spike up. He placed an arm around Spike’s shoulders and the other another his legs. Hefting him up into his arms he frowned, “You’re lighter then I expected. I guess that is because you haven’t been eating.” He nuzzled Spike’s temple with his lips and whispered, “Never again. You’ll never need for food again.”
Spike sighed and laid his head on Xander’s shoulder. He placed his arms around Xander’s neck and breathed in his scent, closing eye eyes. They may not have stated their undying love for each other, but there was something there and Spike was determined to enjoy for as long as it lasted.
Xander walked into the living room. He smiled when he saw Lorne and Angel cuddled on the couch. “Hey guys look what I got.” Spike stiffened then relaxed when he picked up his Sire’s scent. He opened his eyes and looked over at his Sire. “ ’Ello poof.”
Angel laughed, “Even that is good to hear from you.” He smiled at his childe. He couldn’t get the picture of the almost dead Spike from last night out of his head. “You going to sit down or just stand there, Xander?”
Xander blushed and sat on the touch with Spike in his lap. “So what are we going to do today?” He watched a dark emotion pass over Angel’s face. He knew he wanted to confront Buffy, but he was going say no if Angel suggested it. Spike was still too weak.
Angel forced his face into a smile, “I was thinking we could just hang out inside and watch television or something. What do you think?”
Spike nodded, “Yeah, lets watch the telly. Can we watch Passions?”
Angel and Xander groaned. Lorne clapped, “Absolutely. I love that soap. Its my favorite.”
Spike smiled at the green demon. “I like you.” He looked at Angel, “About time you picked a good one.”
Angel smiled and patted Lorne’s leg. “Thanks Spike.” He grabbed the remote from the coffee table and flipped it on to Passions.
As they settled in Angel and Xander both thought, ‘The things I do for love.’
